Pakistani automotive market has witnessed a substantial increase in the previous fiscal year, where the car sales went up to 179,944 units in 2015, as reported by PAMA. But there’s still a tremendous room for the market to be explored by the Foreign Companies.
The proof is evident by the Toyota Indus trying to operate at its full capacity to meet all the orders and to clear all the backlogs of thousands of vehicles. Furthermore, it is argued that the foreign investors shy away d...

The Volkswagen Group has managed to pull ahead of Toyota Motor Corp.’s global deliveries in the first three months (Q1) of 2016. The Japanese automaker is facing a threat of a series of production stoppages at home. This is putting Toyota’s four-year reign of ruling the sales chart in jeopardy.
The spokeswoman for the Japanese company Kayo Doi said today that Toyota’s worldwide sales fell 2.3pc to 2.46 million vehicles in the period of the first quarter (January-to-M...

The B30 is the entry-level sedan in FAW’s lineup. Placed under the ‘Besturn’ sub-brand umbrella, it first appeared at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show as “Besturn A-Class”; the name was later changed to B30 prior to its launch in November 2015.

FAW then launched the B30 in the Chinese market in November 2015, and the results w...

Perhaps Volkswagen can’t afford to lose any more money on cars after the diesel scandal, and thus, the Bugatti Chiron won’t be a loss for them, unlike Bugatti Veyron. It is hardly surprising since Bugatti Chiron, the world’s most powerful car produces 1,500 HP from its 8-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine to reach a top speed of 420 km/h (261 mph) that is electronically limited, and reports suggest that they are willing to push that number up to 270 MPH. And you can do that ...

Nexus Autos and Chevrolet cars are probably the least discussed topics of our automobile market. Despite offering some better vehicles during the previous decade, they became victims of the controversial policies of our government, engineered by those in power to protect the ‘Big 3’. The result was the elimination of Nexus, Nissan, Dewan (Hyundai/Kia) and Adams motors, all of which were operating assembly lines, leaving the playing field for Suzuki, Toyota and Honda only.

Nissan has seen some good times in Pakistan back in the day. Long when they were mostly known as Datsun, back in the late 70s and early 80s, they had quite a fan following. Datsun 120Y was a great a car and was widely praised and liked. I know a handful of people who learnt to drive in one of these cars. But after that, they started launching some weak models that could exactly compete with Corolla in the mid-80s to early 90s, and after that, there was Honda to compete as well. When local ass...

2016 is going to be an exciting year for Pakistan, Pakistani auto sector and us, the Pakistani auto consumers. The sales of the cars and motorbikes have been encouraging. The sales of car grew 54pc in the months of July to November 2015 compared to the same months in the previous year. The imports are on the rise as well. Although technically that is not a good thing since imports hurt our foreign reserves. The only segment down on the sales was the 4×4, but we only have two vehicles th...
